HOW TO PLAY
1

Explain that Raja Parba is a swing festival celebrated with decorated swings hung from trees.

2

Set a small object, like a bean bag, on the swing seat before it starts moving.

3

Each player gets a turn to gently push the empty swing and try to keep the object from falling off through five full arcs.

4

If the object falls before five arcs, note how many arcs were completed.

5

The player who keeps the object on longest wins that round.

6

For older kids, add a second small object to raise the difficulty.
